Poem

My mind fluttered its wings for its journey
towards spirituality at my adolescence, 
as childhood was just study and play
while daily morning prayers a dull ritual.

In my teen, I used to wonder
about attachments towards relations, 
the angst of separation when they leave and go, 
the pain of parting made me ponder
'why do I feel pangs of despair, 
that feeling oftentimes of being ripped off?'.
Reasoning for realization of self must have
started at this point when my mind
first fledged for its flight towards faith. 

Yet, my prayers to God at that time
were more customary and insincere. 
To be honest, I was not honest, 
and when I closed my eyes to pray, 
like a pendulum clock - my mind oscillated!. 

My mind wavered for reasons many:
giving too much love to my loved ones
for, I had too much love to give, 
expecting them all to reciprocate it, 
when it actually Never happened Ever, 
Or a situation that led to parting with them
Continued to haunt my tender heart. 

Thoughts matured too, as mind matured, 
in my twenties when I happened to
decipher the verses of 'The Gita'
which is my holy religious book, 
through which I came to realize:
'To be detached with loved ones
by being attached is a way to 
control and realize one's own self.'

Though I have not mastered the verses of 'The Gita', 
the message of the book does shine
and reflect in my mind crystal clear. 
I trust 'The Omnipotent Power' above us, 
that guides and loves us all impartially.

Through the light of my life's experiences 
and the light that guides me from within
my spiritual journey continues.....
